26 days
that\’s how many days until pitchers and catchers report to spring training. and not a moment too soon, really. as such, a few baseball-related nuggets for a historic tuesday. + according to LENIII, the twins appear close to signing reliever eric gagne. this would have been better news back in 2003, when gagne was in…

on wednesday, the new york yankees signed free agent starting pitcher c.c. sabathia to a 7-year, $161 million contract. despite being interesting, i rarely care about (non-twins) hot stove moves. this one, though? i like it. here\’s why… first, as a twins fan. sabathia pitched (amazingly) for the brewers during the second half of last…

hello cleveland!
today\’s challenge: name the top five bands you want to see play live before you croak. (or, play again, if you\’ve already seen them.) the only rule is that the band must still be active today– as much as i\’d love to see guns \’n\’ roses circa 1988, i don\’t think that\’s gonna happen. stupid…

one of the more frightening child safety warning images, courtesy of dell and the packaging from sara\’s new laptop: to me, it seems to be warning people to not see the movie scream, but i\’m happy to take other nominations.

hey, whaddya know. a website. /kicks tires as you may or may not know, the yahoos that own and operate this website all have accounts on facebook, the social network site that one can belong to without feeling like you\’re a pervert (unlike its competitor, myspace). i find it somewhat fascinating to keep up with…

happy father\’s day (belated)
i didn\’t necessarily see a lot of my dad growing up. he wasn\’t a deadbeat or anything; far from it. he worked the second shift (2:30 – 10:30) at the local corrugated paper plant, meaning i was in bed by the time he got home. during the week, the most i probably saw him was…

so, i\’m trying to be better about posting content that i actually come up with, vs. just borrowing things from other sites. trying to be less meta, if you will. however, for those who are as appalled by joe morgan specifically (and by the murdering of the english language, in general) as i am, this…
